Not up to level of CoT. While Children of Time is a favorite of mine, having read it twice, this story just doesn’t carry the same level of fascination for me. It’s a big epic with intriguing creatures and a vast scope but it bogs down, becoming muddled toward what I found to be a rushed and lightly sketched ending. Can’t recommend, but read CoT for an exciting, creepy treat.

Knocked it out of the park again. They did it again. Another stellar book. I still think about this and children of time years later. I think this has surpassed End of Eternity as my most recommended book. The detail and creativity of the writing and the obvious amount of research put in to these books is phenomenal.

Spiders, Mollusks and Humans, Oh My. Where to begin? We got three sentient species, two or three computer operating systems and several eras; the present, the past and the real far back past. And here’s the thing, save for the history, you will be transported into the minds, memories, thought processes and emotions of each and every one! I do not have PhD. in any of those things. This is a wonderful but very involved and complicated story.

Tough read compared to first book. It is a good story, but kept repeating the same character information over and over each time they came back. Either like having to reread the date profile before you go every date. And you are on date number 12 now. I get it, you like octopus. Or like a sophisticated toddler who does not shut up by saying the same thing over and over. I get it, I know who this character is…. Or to much that I forgot who was who. It took a lot of will power to finish this book. Loved the 1st book!!!!.. second felt like required under grad reading of the required elective you don’t want take but have to take to get the degree. But…. I will reserve the third book.

Less humanity but more science.. This sequel lacks the tighter pacing and human characters of its predecessor, and in many ways feels like other science fiction sequels: it’s there for fans that want to see more of the original’s ideas, but for the people interested in a good story it comes up lacking in polish. Still, the leaps and bounds made by the setting’s technology and civilizations is pretty cool! It’s hard to imagine where the next one will go.

Absolutely fantastic. A worthy sequel to his first book, Children of Time. Tchaikovsky has avoided the cardinal sin of repeating himself, and has instead rhymed with himself to produce something just as beautiful. This book is well worth the read.
